no excuses," Cianciarulo said. "These guys are riding unbelievable, and unfortunately I made a little mistake there in the beginning, then just kind of sat back and watched the battle happen in front of me. I saw the crowd going crazy, and I had a feeling that [Dylan] Ferrandis was going to get a little bit tired, because he rode a little bit crazy there in the beginning, so I just waited for that to hap- pen, and when I saw him drop back a little bit, I was able to capitalize and put a pass on him. Overall, I'm stoked to get on the box, and I think we'll be better from here on out, so I'm looking forward to it." The East guys have one more race this coming weekend in St. Louis before they go on hiatus until the New Jersey round, then finish out the championship in Las Vegas. CN 450SX 1. Eli Tomac (Kaw) 2.

"It was a tough night," said Osborne. "I felt good all day and was felt great on the track. I got a really good jump in my heat race, but just didn't get around the first turn very well. In the main, I thought I would go a bit wider, and then absolutely crushed the start, but then some- one came from the outside and we went down and their footpeg went through my spokes so I had to do a pit stop." 14 COLE SEELY 10TH 450SX Honda HRC's Cole Seely was hoping to turn his sea- son around at Detroit and it looked as though that just might happen after winning his heat race, which turned out to be the quickest of the night, giving him first gate pick for the main, but that didn't help him any. He got caught up in the first-turn pileup and was forced to start at the back of the pack. "Tonight was a tough night," said Seely. "Things were going really well and I was feeling good after my heat race win. Unfortunately, I just got caught up in the first turn and had to come from behind, but we're focused on moving forward and looking ahead to the next round in St. Louis." 36 ADAM CIANCIARULO 3RD 250SX EAST Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/ Kawasaki's Adam Cian- ciarulo rebounded nicely after getting banged up a bit at the previous round in Indiana. He rode aggres- sively and banged bars with the leaders and eventually got on the podium. "I feel good with the result after not getting much riding in this week with my knee injury last week," said Cianciarulo. "I put myself in a good position tonight and coming out of here we are optimistic as we closed the points gap. Couldn't be more excited to have a shot at the championship and it's looking like this thing will go down to Vegas." cont. on page 80
